This adds a replication_model GUC which is used as the replication
model for any new distributed table that is not a reference table.
With this change, tables with replication factor 1 are no longer
implicitly MX tables.
The GUC is similarly respected during empty shard creation for e.g.
existing append-partitioned tables. If the model is set to streaming
while replication factor is greater than one, table and shard creation
routines will error until this invalid combination is corrected.
Changing this parameter requires superuser permissions.
If any placements fail it doesn't update shard statistics on those placements.
A minor enabling refactor: Make CoordinatedTransactionUses2PC public (it used to be CoordinatedTransactionUse2PC but that symbol already existed, so renamed it as well)
We changed error message which appears when user tries to execute outer join command and
that command requires repartitioning. Old error message mentioned about 1-to-1 shard
partitioning which may not be clear to user.
This enables proper transactional behaviour for copy and relaxes some
restrictions like combining COPY with single-row modifications. It
also provides the basis for relaxing restrictions further, and for
optionally allowing connection caching.
Instead use pg_plan_query() like the normal explain does, and use that
to explain the query. That's important because it allows to remove
the duplicated planner logic from multi_explain - and that logic is
about to get more complicated.
They make fixing explain for prepared statement harder, and they don't
really fit into EXPLAIN in the first place. Additionally they're
currently not exercised in any tests.
This change adds support for serial columns to be used with MX tables.
Prior to this change, sequences of serial columns were created in all
workers (for being able to create shards) but never used. With MX, we
need to set the sequences so that sequences in each worker create
unique values. This is done by setting the MINVALUE, MAXVALUE and
START values of the sequence.
A small refactor which pulls some code out of `RecoverWorkerTransactions`
and into `remote_commands.c`. This code block currently only occurs in
`RecoverWorkerTransactions` but will be useful to other functions
shortly.
Unfortunately we couldn't call it `ExecuteRemoteCommand`, that name was
already taken.
Because of foreign keys and similar concerns there should only be a
single modifying/DDL connection for a set of colocated placements to a
node. To enforce placement_connection.c now has an additional
hash-table keeping track of the connections to a set of colocated
placements. In addition to enforcing per placement restrictions on
connections, there's now very similar restrictions for sets of
colocated placements.
This commit is intended to improve the error messages while planning
INSERT INTO .. SELECT queries. The main motivation for this change is
that we used to map multiple cases into a single message. With this change,
we added explicit error messages for many cases.
With this change, we start to delete placement of reference tables at given worker node
after master_remove_node UDF call. We remove placement metadata at master node but we do
not drop actual shard from the worker node. There are two reasons for that decision,
first, it is not critical to DROP the shards in the workers because Citus will ignore them
as long as node is removed from cluster and if we add that node back to cluster we will
DROP and recreate all reference tables. Second, if node is unreachable, it becomes
complicated to cover failure cases and have a transaction support.
Enables use views within distributed queries.
User can create and use a view on distributed tables/queries
as he/she would use with regular queries.
After this change router queries will have full support for views,
insert into select queries will support reading from views, not
writing into. Outer joins would have a limited support, and would
error out at certain cases such as when a view is in the inner side
of the outer join.
Although PostgreSQL supports writing into views under certain circumstances.
We disallowed that for distributed views.
This change fixes a small bug about quoting of workerrack column in
NodeListInsertCommand:
Previous: `"..., '%s'", workerRack`
Now: `"..., %s", quote_literal_cstr(workerRack)`
So far we've reloaded them frequently. Besides avoiding that cost -
noticeable for some workloads with large shard counts - it makes it
easier to add information to ShardPlacements that help us make
placement_connection.c colocation aware.
Doing so requires adding a mapping from shardId to the cache
entries. For that metadata_cache.c now maintains an additional
hashtable. That hashtable only references shard intervals in the
dist table cache.
Previously the function was getting too large. Thus this splits the
function into separate parts for looking up the cache entry and
building the cache contents.
CloseNodeConnections() is supposed to close connections to a given node.
However, before this commit it lacks to actually call PQFinish() on the
connections. Using CloseConnection() handles closing and all other necessary
actions.
With this change we start to error out on router planner queries where a common table
expression with data-modifying statement is present. We already do not support if
there is a data-modifying statement using result of the CTE, now we also error out
if CTE itself is data-modifying statement.
Remove the router specific transaction and shard management, and
replace it with the new placement connection API. This mostly leaves
behaviour alone, except that it is now, inside a transaction, legal to
select from a shard to which no pre-existing connection exists.
To simplify code the code handling task executions for select and
modify has been split into two - the previous coding was starting to
get confusing due to the amount of only conditionally applicable code.
Modification connections & transactions are now always established in
parallel, not just for reference tables.
Currently there are several places in citus that map placements to
connections and that manage placement health. Centralize this
knowledge. Because of the centralized knowledge about which
connection has previously been used for which shard/placement, this
also provides the basis for relaxing restrictions around combining
various forms of DDL/DML.
Connections for a placement can now be acquired using
GetPlacementConnection(). If the connection is used for DML or DDL the
FOR_DDL/DML flags should be used respectively. If an individual
remote transaction fails (but the transaction on the master succeeds)
and FOR_DDL/DML have been specified, the placement is marked as
invalid, unless that'd mark all placements for a shard as invalid.
With this change, we start to replicate all reference tables to the new node when new node
is added to the cluster with master_add_node command. We also update replication factor
of reference table's colocation group.
With this change we introduce new UDF, upgrade_to_reference_table, which can be used to
upgrade existing broadcast tables reference tables. For upgrading, we require that given
table contains only one shard.
Renamed FindShardIntervalIndex() to ShardIndex() and added binary search
capability. It used to assume that hash partition tables are always
uniformly distributed which is not true if upcoming tenant isolation
feature is applied. This commit also reduces code duplication.
We have one replication of reference table for each node. Therefore all problems with
replication factor > 1 also applies to reference table. As a solution we will not allow
foreign keys on reference tables. It is not possible to define foreign key from, to or
between reference tables.
Previously, we errored out if non-user tries to SELECT query for some metadata tables. It
seems that we already GRANT SELECT access to some metadata tables but not others. With
this change, we GRANT SELECT access to all existing Citus metadata tables.
* Add get_distribution_value_shardid UDF
With this UDF users can now map given distribution value to shard id. We mostly hide
shardids from users to prevent unnecessary complexity but some power users might need
to know about which entry/value is stored in which shard for maintanence purposes.
Signature of this UDF is as follows;
bigint get_distribution_value_shardid(table_name regclass, distribution_value anyelement)
With this commit, we implemented some basic features of reference tables.
To start with, a reference table is
* a distributed table whithout a distribution column defined on it
* the distributed table is single sharded
* and the shard is replicated to all nodes
Reference tables follows the same code-path with a single sharded
tables. Thus, broadcast JOINs are applicable to reference tables.
But, since the table is replicated to all nodes, table fetching is
not required any more.
Reference tables support the uniqueness constraints for any column.
Reference tables can be used in INSERT INTO .. SELECT queries with
the following rules:
* If a reference table is in the SELECT part of the query, it is
safe join with another reference table and/or hash partitioned
tables.
* If a reference table is in the INSERT part of the query, all
other participating tables should be reference tables.
Reference tables follow the regular co-location structure. Since
all reference tables are single sharded and replicated to all nodes,
they are always co-located with each other.
Queries involving only reference tables always follows router planner
and executor.
Reference tables can have composite typed columns and there is no need
to create/define the necessary support functions.
All modification queries, master_* UDFs, EXPLAIN, DDLs, TRUNCATE,
sequences, transactions, COPY, schema support works on reference
tables as expected. Plus, all the pre-requisites associated with
distribution columns are dismissed.
We used to disable router planner and executor
when task executor is set to task-tracker.
This change enables router planning and execution
at all times regardless of task execution mode.
We are introducing a hidden flag enable_router_execution
to enable/disable router execution. Its default value is
true. User may disable router planning by setting it to false.
Adds support for VACUUM and ANALYZE commands which target a specific
distributed table. After grabbing the appropriate locks, this imple-
mentation sends VACUUM commands to each placement (using one connec-
tion per placement). These commands are sent in parallel, so users
with large tables will benefit from sharding. Except for VERBOSE, all
VACUUM and ANALYZE options are supported, including the explicit
column list used by ANALYZE.
As with many of our utility commands, the local command also runs. In
the VACUUM/ANALYZE case, the local command is executed before any re-
mote propagation. Because error handling is managed after local proc-
essing, this can result in a VACUUM completing locally but erroring
out when distributed processing commences: a minor technicality in all
cases, as there isn't really much reason to ever roll back a VACUUM (an
impossibility in any case, as VACUUM cannot run within a transaction).
Remote propagation of targeted VACUUM/ANALYZE is controlled by the
enable_ddl_propagation setting; warnings are emitted if such a command
is attempted when DDL propagation is disabled. Unqualified VACUUM or
ANALYZE is not handled, but a warning message informs the user of this.
Implementation note: this commit adds a "BARE" value to MultiShard-
CommitProtocol. When active, no BEGIN command is ever sent to remote
nodes, useful for commands such as VACUUM/ANALYZE which must not run in
a transaction block. This value is not user-facing and is reset at
transaction end.
This change adds `start_metadata_sync_to_node` UDF which copies the metadata about nodes and MX tables
from master to the specified worker, sets its local group ID and marks its hasmetadata to true to
allow it receive future DDL changes.
One less place managing remote transactions. It also makes it fairly
easy to use 2PC for certain modifications (e.g. reference tables). Just
issue a CoordinatedTransactionUse2PC(). If every placement failure
should cause the whole transaction to abort, additionally mark the
relevant transactions as critical.
With this PR, we add foreign key support to ALTER TABLE commands. For now,
we only support foreign constraint creation via ALTER TABLE query, if it
is only subcommand in ALTER TABLE subcommand list.
We also only allow foreign key creation if replication factor is 1.
That way connections can be automatically closed after errors and such,
and the connection management infrastructure gets wider testing. It
also fixes a few issues around connection string building.
This includes basic infrastructure for logging of commands sent to
remote/worker nodes. Note that this has no effect as of yet, since no
callers are converted to the new infrastructure.
Connections are tracked and released by integrating into postgres'
transaction handling. That allows to to use connections without having
to resort to having to disable interrupts or using PG_TRY/CATCH blocks
to avoid leaking connections.
This is intended to eventually replace multi_client_executor.c and
connection_cache.c, and to provide the basis of a centralized
transaction management.
The newly introduced transaction hook should, in the future, be the only
one in citus, to allow for proper ordering between operations. For now
this central handler is responsible for releasing connections and
resetting XactModificationLevel after a transaction.
This commit fixes a bug when the SELECT target list includes a constant
value.
Previous behaviour of target list re-ordering:
* Iterate over the INSERT target list
* If it includes a Var, find the corresponding SELECT entry
and update its resno accordingly
* If it does not include a Var (which we only considered to be
DEFAULTs), generate a new SELECT target entry
* If the processed target entry count in SELECT target list is less
than the original SELECT target list (GROUP BY elements not included in
the SELECT target entry), add them in the SELECT target list and
update the resnos accordingly.
* However, this step was leading to add the CONST SELECT target entries
twice. The reason is that when CONST target list entries appear in the
SELECT target list, the INSERT target list doesn't include a Var. Instead,
it includes CONST as it does for DEFAULTs.
New behaviour of target list re-ordering:
* Iterate over the INSERT target list
* If it includes a Var, find the corresponding SELECT entry
and update its resno accordingly
* If it does not include a Var (which we consider to be
DEFAULTs and CONSTs on the SELECT), generate a new SELECT
target entry
* If any target entry remains on the SELECT target list which are resjunk,
(GROUP BY elements not included in the SELECT target entry), keep them
in the SELECT target list by updating the resnos.
While creating a colocated table, we don't want the source table to be dropped.
However, using a ShareLock blocks DML statements on the source table, and
using AccessShareLock is enough to prevent DROP. Therefore, we just loosened
the lock to AccessShareLock.
This change allows seeing the names of columns of `master_add_node`,
using `SELECT * FROM master_add_node(...)` by specifying output
columns in UDF definition.
Previously, we threw an error when we ran CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS
with an already existing index. This change enables expected behavior by
checking if the statement has IF NOT EXISTS before throwing the error.
We also ensure that we don't execute the command on the workers, if an
index already exists on the master.
At the moment, we do not support foreign constraints if replication factor is greater
than 1. However foreign constraints can be used in cloud with high availability option.
Therefore we do not want to create an impression such that foreign constraints with
high availability is not supported at all. We call users to action with this error
message.
In ErrorIfShardPlacementsNotColocated(), while checking if shards are colocated,
error out if matching shard intervals have different number of shard placements.
Added a new UDF, mark_tables_colocated(), to colocate tables with the same
configuration (shard count, shard replication count and distribution column type).
Fixcitusdata/citus#886
The way postgres' explain hook is designed means that our hook is never
called during EXPLAIN EXECUTE. So, we special-case EXPLAIN EXECUTE by
catching it in the utility hook. We then replace the EXECUTE with the
original query and pass it back to Citus.
Previously, when a repair is requested on a shard, we also repair all co-located shards
of given shard, which may cause repairing already healthy shards. With this change, we
only repair given shard.
This forces prepared statements to be re-planned after changes of the
placement metadata. There's some locking issues remaining, but that's a
a separate task.
Also add regression tests verifying that invalidations take effect on
prepared statements.
This commit adds INSERT INTO ... SELECT feature for distributed tables.
We implement INSERT INTO ... SELECT by pushing down the SELECT to
each shard. To compute that we use the router planner, by adding
an "uninstantiated" constraint that the partition column be equal to a
certain value. standard_planner() distributes that constraint to all
the tables where it knows how to push the restriction safely. An example
is that the tables that are connected via equi joins.
The router planner then iterates over the target table's shards,
for each we replace the "uninstantiated" restriction, with one that
PruneShardList() handles. Do so by replacing the partitioning qual
parameter added in multi_planner() with the current shard's
actual boundary values. Also, add the current shard's boundary values to the
top level subquery to ensure that even if the partitioning qual is
not distributed to all the tables, we never run the queries on the shards
that don't match with the current shard boundaries. Finally, perform the
normal shard pruning to decide on whether to push the query to the
current shard or not.
We do not support certain SQLs on the subquery, which are described/commented
on ErrorIfInsertSelectQueryNotSupported().
We also added some locking on the router executor. When an INSERT/SELECT command
runs on a distributed table with replication factor >1, we need to ensure that
it sees the same result on each placement of a shard. So we added the ability
such that router executor takes exclusive locks on shards from which the SELECT
in an INSERT/SELECT reads in order to prevent concurrent changes. This is not a
very optimal solution, but it's simple and correct. The
citus.all_modifications_commutative can be used to avoid aggressive locking.
An INSERT/SELECT whose filters are known to exclude any ongoing writes can be
marked as commutative. See RequiresConsistentSnapshot() for the details.
We also moved the decison of whether the multiPlan should be executed on
the router executor or not to the planning phase. This allowed us to
integrate multi task router executor tasks to the router executor smoothly.
The necessity for this functionality comes from the fact that ruleutils.c is not supposed to be
used on "rewritten" queries (i.e. ones that have been passed through QueryRewrite()).
Query rewriting is the process in which views and such are expanded,
and, INSERT/UPDATE targetlists are reordered to match the physical order,
defaults etc. For the details of reordeing, see transformInsertRow().
We'd been relying on a single SET search_path command in an earlier
script, but a subsequent script RESET search_path, causing any further
bare functions to be created in the first schema on the search path.
However, starting with an older extension version and executing ALTER
scripts one at a time DOES avoid putting any functions in the public
namespace, so I wrote an upgrade script resilient to that, especially
because PostgreSQL 9.5 will error out if a function is already in the
schema it's being moved to.
Between restart (running the new code) and ALTER EXTENSION citus
UPGRADE there was an inconsistency where we assumed that
pg_dist_partition had the repmodel column set. Now we give it a default
value if the column doesn't exist yet.
With this change, we now push down foreign key constraints created during CREATE TABLE
statements. We also start to send foreign constraints during shard move along with
other DDL statements
create_reference_table() creates a hash distributed table with shard count
equals to 1 and replication factor equals to shard_replication_factor
configuration value.
Adds support for PostgreSQL 9.6 by copying in the requisite ruleutils
file and refactoring the out/readfuncs code to flexibly support the
old-style copy/pasted out/readfuncs (prior to 9.6) or use extensible
node APIs (in 9.6 and higher).
Most version-specific code within this change is only needed to set new
fields in the AggRef nodes we build for aggregations. Version-specific
test output files were added in certain cases, though in most they were
not necessary. Each such file begins by e.g. printing the major version
in order to clarify its purpose.
The comment atop citus_nodes.h details how to add support for new nodes
for when that becomes necessary.
This change adds the pg_dist_local_group metadata table, which indicates
the group id of the current node. It is expected that this table contains
one and only one row, which only contains the group id of the node as an
integer.
With this change, master_copy_shard_placement and master_move_shard_placement functions
start to copy/move given shard along with its co-located shards.
This commit completes having support in Citus by adding having support for
real-time and task-tracker executors. Multiple tests are added to regression
tests to cover new supported queries with having support.
This change adds the required infrastructure about metadata snapshot from MX
codebase into Citus, mainly metadata_sync.c file and master_metadata_snapshot UDF.
So far placements were assigned an Oid, but that was just used to track
insertion order. It also did so incompletely, as it was not preserved
across changes of the shard state. The behaviour around oid wraparound
was also not entirely as intended.
The newly introduced, explicitly assigned, IDs are preserved across
shard-state changes.
The prime goal of this change is not to improve ordering of task
assignment policies, but to make it easier to reference shards. The
newly introduced UpdateShardPlacementState() makes use of that, and so
will the in-progress connection and transaction management changes.

This change adds the `pg_dist_node` table that contains the information
about the workers in the cluster, replacing the previously used
`pg_worker_list.conf` file (or the one specified with `citus.worker_list_file`).
Upon update, `pg_worker_list.conf` file is read and `pg_dist_node` table is
populated with the file's content. After that, `pg_worker_list.conf` file
is renamed to `pg_worker_list.conf.obsolete`
For adding and removing nodes, the change also includes two new UDFs:
`master_add_node` and `master_remove_node`, which require superuser
permissions.
'citus.worker_list_file' guc is kept for update purposes but not used after the
update is finished.

hash_create(), called by TaskHashCreate(), doesn't work correctly for a
zero sized hash table. This triggers valgrind errors, and could
potentially cause crashes even without valgring.
This currently happens for Jobs with 0 tasks. These probably should be
optimized away before reaching TaskHashCreate(), but that's a bigger
change.
count_agg_clause *adds* the cost of the aggregates to the state

Test coverage of a hash reparitition using a UDT as the join column.
Note that the UDFs `worker_hash_partition_table` and `worker_range_partition_table`

planner code building the commands now allows for `::regtype` casting
to do its magic.

On `InsertShardRow`, we previously called `CommandCounterIncrement()` before
`CitusInvalidateRelcacheByRelid(relationId);`. This might prevent to skip
invalidation of the distributed table in the next access within the same session.
This commit enables to create different worker and master temporary folders.
This change is important for citus-mx on task-tracker execution. In simple words,
on citus-mx, the worker could actually be reponsible for the master tasks as well.
Prior to this change, both master and worker logic on task-tracker executor was
accessing and using the same files for different purposes which was dangerous on
certain cases (i.e., when task_tracker_delay is low).
Before this change, count on a distributed returned NULL if all shards
were pruned away, because on the master we replace with count(..) call
with a sum(..) call to sum the counts from the shards. However, sum
returns NULL when there are no rows, whereas count is expected to return
0.
I had changed these callbacks to use the same method I chose for the
router executor (for consistency), but as that method is flawed, we now
want to ensure we directly register them from PG_init as well.
Not entirely sure why we went with the shared memory hook approach, but
it causes problems (multiple registration) during crashes. Changing to
a simple direct registration call from PG_init.
An interaction between ReraiseRemoteError and DML transaction support
causes segfaults:
* ReraiseRemoteError calls PurgeConnection, freeing a connection...
* That connection is still in the xactParticipantHash
At transaction end, the memory in the freed connection might happen to
pass the "is this connection OK?" check, causing us to try to send an
ABORT over that connection. By removing it from the transaction hash
before calling ReraiseRemoteError, we avoid this possibility.
UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY constraints. Also, properly propagate valid
EXCLUDE constraints to worker shard tables.
If an EXCLUDE constraint includes the distribution column,
the operator must be an equality operator.
Tests in regression suite for exclusion constraints that include
the partition column, omit it, and include it but with non-equality
operator. Regression tests also verify that valid exclusion constraints
are propagated to the shard tables. And the tests work in different
timezones now.
